On my side, it was so interesting, but painful though. I have always said it that our decisions and actions paint a picture, defining who we are. In his book, The Greatest Enemies of Africa, Reverend Mbae, made it very clear that the greatest enemies of Africa are its leaders. Recently, Mochudi has been forcefully and ignorantly made a state in another state by the right heir to the chieftaincy, Rre Kgafela! By birth and blood, he happens to be the right man for that position. Many have ascended to this top position before and there was harmony. People loved and respected their rightful leaders. Emphases should be given to the fact that there was no fear, they used hands to greet and honour their leaders. It was our culture! I personally have to admit the fact that, change is inevitable, but the recent renovation to our cultures leaves so many questions unanswered! Human rights were respected, people were involved in every decision that affected them, no one felt threatened and there was freedom of speech.
Our country then was not that far from being similar to the land that was once promised to some men and women in the Holy Book! The name "The Africa Diamond or Miracle" that some people outside the boarders of this once beautiful country perceived us to be, was derived from the harmony experienced then. The reason being, those men were born leaders with very good qualities of leadership. Although they had to make uncommon decisions, but they never compromised our rights.
